Description:
Take a look at my patch which fixes linking with '-Wl,--as-needed'.
Although the build-system could still need some love (e.g. run autogen.sh or autoreconf -fi and you'll see what i mean) :P

For further informations see: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=306387

How to repeat:
Build mysql-workbench with LDFLAGS="-Wl,--as-needed" or even with forced as-needed [1]

Suggested fix:
